Toss: New Zealand decide to bat vs Pakistan
New Zealand received the toss within the second ODI and opted to bat first of their quest to sq. the three-match sequence after dropping the primary ODI on Monday.
The guests beefed up their spin assault, bringing in legspinner Ish Sodhi and pairing him up with fingerspinners Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell. They even have one other fingerspin-bowling choice in Glenn Phillips. Henry Shipley, the almost two-metre tall quick bowler, made method for his Canterbury group-mate Sodhi.
Pakistan have been unchanged from the opening ODI, which implies new vice-captain Shan Masood was benched as soon as once more. The hosts took the primary sport by six wickets.
